Shawne Merriman
This blog was quite on the record as wanting Shawne Merriman in the 2005 NFL Draft with the 7th pick, instead of Troy Williamson as evidenced by this post http://mnvikingsfootball.blogspot.com/2005/04/merriman-vs-johnson-debate-best.html
Although I think T.Will could be a very good receiver in a couple years. Here is what Don Banks said about Shawne Merriman-http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/don_banks/11/01/banks.shots/1.html
"Wow. From the looks of what I saw in San Diego on Sunday, Chargers first-round pick Shawn Merriman is going to be a force at linebacker. Though he's still learning the position and has made just two NFL starts, Merriman announced his arrival as a playmaker with two sacks and a forced fumble against Kansas City, not to mention a hit that knocked Chiefs running back Priest Holmes silly and ended his afternoon. And fellow Chargers rookie Luis Castillo wasn't too shabby either, contributing 1½ sacks against K.C"
You don't think the Vikings could use a Pass-Rushing Linebacker/Defensive End like that? Instead of a Wide Receiver who is still quite raw.
